There is still cross-border friction which is why we went to glopal. A lot of requirements, language, tax implications and we needed a partner who can help lower those barriers.

Challenge

It became clear to Altr London there was a lot of global potential and it was time to start focusing on expanding and selling internationally, however there was a lot of friction with cross-border selling.
With a lot of requirements such as language, tax implications, providing localised payments, they needed to find a partner to help lower those barriers.
